Do you even know the meaning of the word "involuntary?" Or did you just pick it up from TV?
Look here, a motor accident could be described as involuntary okay?

Kneeling on someone's neck for nine minutes while being warned by a crowd around you is not involuntary.
Try hold your breath for 3 minutes please, before discussing this matter.

Attempting to make him see the truth is like trying to make a flat earther believe in a round earth. It's an exercise in futility. He believes every white nationalist, KKK, Nazi, etc, propaganda ever spawn by right wing media. He ALWAYS supports the White's narrative in any confrontation with blacks. He propagates more extremist views against blacks than even white folks.

Medical experts, the police department and a jury of 12 found Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering an unarmed and handcuffed black man, but according to his own personal racial bias, the police officer was doing an excellent job arresting a violent criminal on drugs resisting arrest. One would think we watched a separate trial with two separate video evidence.

I tireooooo. She has collected enough cash from Sule and still get the mind to escalate to the world. Why can't she mention other people she has slept with. It's so annoying abeg. Now, by telling the world, what is she looking for?

She never said she was a woman of God or a Saint, unlike your pastor.

She is telling the world to borrow brains and stop falling prey to scam artists.

Executive729:
Abi ooo it's not only Sule that was fucking her, she is olosho everyone who can afford bleeped her and all the oloshos in nollywood. She want us to believe all the three abortions she had belongs to Sule...... Rada rada prostitute

And what will your call Sule? How many abortions have your God pastor Sule carried out on women?

Kingcalls:
Y don't women like taking accountability?? As pong as he dint rape u, he did no wrong ... he settled u after the did and u collected ... Halima, blame urself and stop looking for sympathy ..besides , we know he wasn't the only one u were knocking....y don't u go hold other men

The way you guys hate women, one would think you were cloned and not given birth to by a woman.

You are defending a so called man of God who scams not just gullible members off their hard earn money, but also scam women of their pussy. You see nothing wrong with a pastor calling money under false pretences from poor people struggling to survive and using the money to pay ashawo and runs girls. If pastor suleiman was not the only one she was knocking, was Hilima the only runs girl pastor suleiman was knocking? I know you are one of those who can drink kool-aid or stap a bomb to your chest to defend fake jen of God.

Nigerian pastors are worse than huspuppi, its just year they scam Nigerians rather than foreigners.

Profayo:
As it should be.
Posting children as part of your questionable videos to drive viewers should be banned.The kids could be traumatised for life if they grow up not agreeing with their mum's lifestyle while their video is out there for everyone to see

That's child abuse. It's insane to be posting videos or even photos of kids online to drive traffic to your site. It's no different from someone putting gala or pure water on children's head and sending them in traffic to hawk.

I can never allow my wife to post pictures of my children on social media.

CoolUsername:
He was a reckless idiot who in my opinion was guilty of involuntary manslaughter not first degree murder.

Why I believe its murder and not manslaughter is because, he was told by the watching mob that George Floyd will die if he does not remove his knee from his neck. The crowd almost went violent in an attempt to save floyd. He did not remove his knee until floyd stopped moving, at which point he was dead. He also made no attempt or allowed anyone else attempt to resuscitate floyd until the ambulance arrived, by which point it was too late.
You can't say the killing was a mistake, unless Derrick Chauvin was on drugs.

ogunara:
You are an idiot. You think ibo are the only ones who fought colonizers? Many Yoruba people like ijebu fought before being defeated by British back forces so save it

We were not defeated military by the colonisers, at least in the initial stages. We were defeated by our own people. We were defeated by rival clans who aligned with the colonisers for material gains and to gain political advantage over our neighbours.

We were defeated by our disunity. And the colonisers took advantage and exasperated the disunity with a divide and rule political system. The effects of that divide and rule system remains with us till today.

gidgiddy:
All hail Nigeria, the country that honours a man who led coup that killed hundreds of people, and another coup that brought him to power.

Years from now, generations will see the airports, roads, buildings and 20 Naira note, all named after Murtala Mohammed, and ask 'who was this man?'

And they will be told that he was a successful bloodthirsty coup plotter who was recalled from the Nigerian civil war due to his military incompetence, and later siezed power by the barrel of the gun.

Sweet

I am still at loss of what your personal grouse is with Murtala or what you want. I doubt you were even born when Murtala was alive.

I am sure you are still a young man, and young men including igbo boys and girls are doing great things in Nigeria and abroad (apart from those destroying the countries image doing drugs and yahoo all over the world).

Is it Murtala or the Biafran war that's preventing from adding value to your self, your family or your community?
There is far more opportunities for young men today than there have ever been in the history of Nigeria. Leaning a critical skill can make you a multi millionaire by this time next year, and opportunities are not onlybin Nigeria, but the whole world is at your feet.

So, tell me what exactly you want and how you think you can achieve it so I can understand your mindset.

gidgiddy:
He was honoured for Keeping Nigeria unified? What happend to others like Obasanjo, Adekunle, Akinrinade, Danjuma, and others? Murtala was even recalled early from the war due to his military incompetence.

So Murtala was honoured for being a coup plotter? For doing exactly what others are alleged to have done, just on a more bloody level

Thats how you know a country that is not serious. While other countries are honouring their citizens that did great things in human endeavour, Nigeria honours Murtala Mohammed for being a bloodthirsty coup plotter. Names Airports, buildings, highways after him and even puts him on the 20 Naira note


what a country

Countries honour their founding fathers and those who fought to keep the country united. Though I am not exactly a fan of Murtala, he fought to keep the country united twice. Once as the general prosecuting the war and then as a military head of state. Adekunle also made his own blunders in the Owerri siege where he left Col. Uduak Etuk and his 16th brigadefor dead.

Obasanjo will be honoured after his death, I am sure any new naira note will be dedicated to him. The remaining you listed were never head of state.

You guys are anarchists. You just just want to create anarchy and the blame everyone else for reactions to your anarchist behaviours.

Your officers killed the political and military leaders of other and even their families in cold blood, you guys justified it and even celebrated. The people who you killed their leaders responded and revenged, you play the victim card and allege hatred. It you guys that introduced coup to Nigeria, but you want to accuse Murtala who responded to being the devil, because igbo officers were killed.

If you guys want us all to be held by the January 1966 misadventure by mainly igbo offers for the next 200 years, be my guest. We will all suffer the consequences. If you guys truly don't want anything to do with Nigeria, pressure your political and traditional leaders to ask for secession and start the repatriation of igbos from other parts of Nigeria. Once that is done Nigeria and international community will look at your case.

Maazieze:
I dont think you get it slowpoke, their mocking people like you that masquerade and deny their are igbos in delta and rivers, yet when ever their is bad history you remember they are igbo. We know very well they are our brethren and they have to see what nigeria thinks of them.

Some igbos seems to have self esteem issues. Why the need to label others igbo before you can feed good about yourself? You so care about who calls themselves igbo or not. Why not let people choose how they choose to identify themselves - personally or collectively.

gidgiddy:
Dont deviate from what is being talked about here. How come Nigeria honoured Murtala Mohammed for doing what they vilify and accuse Nzeogwu of doing?

Should Nzeogwu be put on the 50 Naira note? Murtala was put on the 20 Naira note

Murtala is honoured for fighting to keep Nigeria unified. He was honoured for leading a coup to oust usurper who killed political and military leaders of other regions for no just cause. He gave karmic justice to murderers that General Ironsi refused to try because they were his tribesmen. Some people even suspect he was part of the coup, because it did not make sense that Brigadier General
Maimalar the highest ranking northerner was brutally murdered, but general Ironsi, the most senior igbo officer was spared? What would have happened if the coup succeeded?

Those that live by the sword shall die by the sword.

breakthrough22:
We talked yesterday though I have been the one calling her .She said i should come and beg his brother and dad but I am sure they will take me for granted if I do .I have told her I will never come and I will never send a dime to them .Rather, I do use my money to take goat meat peppersoup and a bottle of trophy every night close to my house.

As a man you are now doing the right thing. You are the one calling her to try and resolve your family issues.

Having said that, her demand is unreasonable. Beg his brother and dad for what? How did you offend her dad and brother? The problem is between you two, you need to resolve your issues before you even involve her family. If you are to apologise to anyone, its to your wife for all the verbal and emotional abuse you inflicted on her, and she also need to apologise to you you for all her stubbornness and putting her family above you.

You need to take the bull by the horn and ask her if she is still interested in the marriage. You been to schedule a physical meeting, just the two of you to discuss the future of your marriage. You can meet in a public place or the house of a neutral friend or relation. If after discussions she insists on you going to beg her dad as if you are re-asking for her hands in marriage, then consider the marriage over and start divorce proceedings. Take your people to his dad to even discuss what they want from you. I hope you paid her bride price. If they are still unreasonable, return their bride price. Get a lawyer to serve her divorce proceedings.

They all want to take the advantage of me been a nice man right from the beginning .For 2 weeks now ,my son have been out of school but one thing I promised her is that the door is opened for them to come back at any time they like before it gets too late .She should just forget about me coming to beg .

Infact ,I have deleted all her family contacts on my phone .Very soon,I will be fine because I miss my son but ain't shifting ground .

It's very wrong and cruel to use your son to blackmail you into submitting to their shenanigans. They don't care for the child at all. You need to quickly get the court involved. The fact that they did not enrol your son into school will be to your advantage in custody battle. You should also try and establish if he suffers any type of abuse, like excessive labour or left to roam the streets. Don't abandon you son.

Wilson212:
it is not for any common man , you people should
think before talking rubbish .First this the CBN governor that bought the presidential form even as a CBN governor of back to the effect on the economy .if you have done business in the remote parts of this country especially in the north you will know that this will throw Nigeria into choas .if you don't have access to cash you won't be able to buy most foods from north

Don't mind them. They will support him with their lives because "he is our brother". In Nigeria everyone supports his brother or those they are gaining from to the detriment of Nigeria as a whole. Its only among the Yorubas that you will find Significant opposition to their own brother/sister who has done wrong things. (I still can't believe a Significant number of yorubas are supporting Tinubu, with a shady background, education and ties to drugs).

If Saint Godwin had won the presidential candidature of APC, after he paid N100 million for forms, would his brothers have said he changed currencies to prevent politicians from bribing the voters with cash?

Below is a picture of Saint Godwin preparing for presidential election

Peterperosco:
The price of fuel in Nigeria has doubled, and it's still even scarce in some areas, these politicians don't care, because it's not affecting them, why are they urgently and curiously fighting this CBN policy. We know it's nonsense, no wahala, but make una leave am first, after election, then u talk about it.

So you are incapable of linking CBN policies with the price of fuel and inflation in general? You cannot link CBN policies with scarcity of dollars, which affects the importation of petrol?

SaintNegro77:
If the presidency gave a nod to naira design and withdrawal policy, why are these 35 thieves unsettled with it? They should allow the man do his job.

First the presidency has no authority to give nod to anything? The executive power of the federation lies with the presidency and not the president.
Secondly, the 35 thieves should have been carried along with the policy as they too are major stakeholders in the Nigerian project.

Thirdly the other 360 thieves of the house of representatives and 106 thieves of the senate should also have been carried along, as it is them that makes laws for the country, make budgets and supervise the executive. It's completely beyond belief that the thievescin the national assembly were not aware of such an important policy.

Finally, since Emefiele is the only non thief according to you and his kinsmen, maybe we should just appoint him president or rather dictator, so that no one can question him.

Aonkuuse:
His hands are not clean for redesigning recolouring the naira??

Corrected.

Pandev:
Emefiele had better run to Buhari, he's the one who can save him right now. Him recent policies dey choke politicians for neck

Na only politicians Emefiele's policies dey choke for neck? You mean his policies no dey choke you for neck also? E be like say, you get where you dey buy dollars at N450 and you get a full bundle of the new naira for house, or you dey abroad where him policies no reach you.

Take it from me, we will still be using the old naira notes by this time next year. Yesterday, my bank gave me crispy new old N1000 naira notes. The N1000 naira notes were dated 2022 and signed by Emefiele, meaning it was freshly minted.

The NGF said the discussion with Mr Emefiele on Thursday promises to foster participation and dialogue between various stakeholders including governments and civil society organisations.

Is this not putting the cart before the horse? Should Emefiele not have fostered participation and dialogue between various stakeholders including governments and civil society organisations before implementing the policy?

What participation and dialogue is the NGF expecting again after the Naira has been changed and a one month deadline was given for the withdrawal of the old notes and replacement by the new ones?

bayocanny:
Golden!

The Aburi Accord was an insult to the sensibility of Nigerians back then. The accord is federalistic feudalistic in character.

Corrected

bayocanny:
You're not being fair, your opinions about Aburi Accord is logically incorrect.

Tell them to show us they sign accord, they temporarily behave like they are dumb, blind and deaf. They will never show but just keep parotting " Gowon and the Regions signed an accord, and gowon reneged on the sign accord "

Fejoku:
So you still believe that Nigeria with any sort of structure will survive? As a matter of possibility, do you think you can get back regionalism under a parliamentary system?

Nigeria just have to survive, else it will spell disastrous consequences on all of us. Nigeria is like an arrangee marriage of strange bedfellows. The marriage had been very tumultuous and painful, sometimes abusive. But, it have produced many children and numerous grand children. The family fortune has been so interwoven and intertwined and it is very difficult determining who owns what and the contributions of each member of the family. Such a divorce though possible would be extremely difficult and tumultuous. It cannot be achieved by fiat, or by threats and violence. It can only be achieved through the civil and political process.

I think a new political structure akin to parliamentary system can be achieved. It will take sincerity on the part of the political class. Whether igbo, fulani, yoruba or igala. The political class is just too insincere and manipulative. They are the ones that don't want Nigeria to unite, else yet lose their relevance.

Fejoku:
Do you know the people present at that meeting? All the military administrators(governors) of the four regions were present at that meeting. You can't change history.

The Military Governors were appointees of the Head of State. How can they be given the authority to negotiate the sovereignty of Nigeria. The sovereignty of Nigeria should belong to its people and not a few select appointees of a Military head of state.

Fejoku:
In conclusion, Yakubu Gowon and Prince Akenzua had their way by bye passing previously signed agreement at Aburi. Today's Nigeria is the legacy of their own decision.

The problem with you guys is that you don't listen to others. You only listen to your own thoughts and believe every other person must agree to your own thoughts and needs.

It was not only Gowon that quarrelled with the un(signed) aburi accord, southern minorities including those of the Eastern Nigeria that you guys intended to incorporate into your biafra were vehemently against the accord. Furthermore some prominent military officers were also against the accord. It would have been unfair for only igbos and a few igbo related tribes through blackmail and threats of war on Nigeria, to rail road Nigeria unconstitutionally into a loose confederation. Gowon only initially succumbed to the blackmail but on getting back to Nigeria had to backpedal due to the strength of the opposition. I am grateful you guys have not started calling me names like fulani slave, traitor and other unsavory insults.

Two questions for you. Do you still agree to the structure suggested by Prince Akenzua as at the time even without the benefit of foresight?
Do you think that there's a need for restructure or outright dissolution of Nigeria? Give your reasons.

I don't think Akenzua suggested any structure. All he pointed out was that a loose confederation is the same thing as succession. And the minorities in Eastern Nigeria along with other Regions were not prepared for secession at that time.

I think we should go back to the regional and parliamentary system bequeathed to us by the Britisht that was truncated by the Nzeogwu led coup. It allowed each region to spend its own resources to develop its region. That was the period of the fastest development in Nigeria.

gidgiddy:
All 4 military Governors of the time were in Aburi, and all 4 signed the agreement. Gowon also signed. A portion of the agreement stipulated that the Aburi accord was binding "only for the period of military rule"

After signing an agreement in front if the then President of Ghana, Gowon came back and started rejecting the agreement. What Gowon should have done is negotiate another agreement if he wasnt happy with what he signed

To make matters worse, Gowon enacted Decree 14 and Decree 15, in flagrant violation of the agreement he signed

Decree 14 abolished all 4 Regions and created 12 new states to replace them. Decree 15 removed resource control and fiscal responsibility and placed it in the hands of the Federal government

Ojukwu had no other choice but to declare Biafra

When a signed agreement is violated, there is always trouble, and the person who broke the agreement bears responsibility for that

You are just behaving like a pre-recorded audio that's meant to play a certain sound bite no matter the fact. You mind is already made up on your narrative without even bothering to present any evidence.

I asked for a signed copy of the agreement you don't even bother discussing it.

I told you that the Aburi meeting was a power sharing agreement purely military officers to prevent the impending war, you pretend you did not see it.

I presented the fact that civilians from the other Regions rejected the accord, you become oblivious.

Not only did civilians reject the aburi accord, some senior military officers who were bypassed in the power sharing appointments like T.Y. Danjuma and Murtala Muhammed rejected the accord.

See more of what really transpired below. I hope your mind can grasp new information.

gidgiddy:
Well you better read about the Aburi agreement because the military Governors of all 4 Regions signed the agreement on behalf of their respective Regions

Parliament did not agree to Gowon abolishing the 4 Regions and creating states, but Gowon did anyway. Today we have 36 states, all created by Nigerian military rulers

All four regions did not sign anything. What really happened at Aburi was that the military hierarchy came together in Ghana to work out a power sharing agreement in order to avoid an impending war. Forget that the military had just appointed some of its members as military Governors as part of the power sharing agreement as a fall out from the January 1966 coup. It had no civilian or constitutional backing.

I have searched the Internet for the actual signed agreement and the signatures on the agreement, I am yet to find one. All I am able to see is the communique of the meeting. Obviously, you can't expect the country to be governed by a communique. A true copy of such agreement should have been kept for posterity.

Now, when the military agreed communique termed accord got back to Nigeria, most politicians particularly in the South rejected it. Ken saro wiwa was strongly opposed to it, because lumps them politically them in with the igbos, and he fears domination by the igbos.

Prince Akenzua wrote a memo to Gowon stating their opposition to the accord. There was so much opposition to the accord from Mid Western and Eastern Nigeria (minorities) that Gowon called for a meeting in Benin to discuss the accord. The accord was overwhelming rejected by all other Regions except the Eastern region that failed to attend the meeting.

How can you then say the accord was signed by all 4 Regions?

-

gidgiddy:
A signed agreement is a signed agreement and valid in law. Whatever party that breaks a binding agreement is the cause of whatever trouble that emanates

The Aburi accord had no legal standing? The other regions did not agree to it, the parliament did not agree to it. Ojukwu and Gowon could not just sign Nigeria's sovereignty away.

Kobonaire2023:
The first republic was very corrupt, but that did not justify the coup

I disagree. Yes there were a few corrupt politicians like my tribesman Okotie-eboh, Akintola and maybe maybe Fani Kayode. But most of the politicians were honest, a did a lot of good things, developments in their regions. I could not think of one Northerner Eastern leader accused of corruption. Most politicians of that era died in poverty, no huge bank accounts, no properties scattered all over the place and no extravagant lifestyles.

gidgiddy:
His coup is not what started the war, his coup happened 18 months before the war started

What caused the war was Gowon's refusal to honour the Aburi agreement he signed

The Aburi accord was not enforceable. It would only have delayed the war by a few months, a year at most, and by then the igbos would have been more prepared and difficult to defeat.

Gowon hurriedly signed the accord in order to avoid war without understanding the implications, until it was pointed out by Akenzua (the future Oba of Benin).

gidgiddy:
Thats the nature of military coups, they sometimes claim lives of the existing political leaders

What was the justification for the military coup? The coupists were unable to prove the corruption they alleged.

gidgiddy:
Okpanam is an Igbo town on the outskirts of Asaba, capital of Delta State. Years ago, the indigenes erected a statue in memory of Chukwuma Nzeogwu, their famous son who led Nigeria's first coup

People of Okpanam still believe that Nzeogwu led more than a coup, they believe he led a revolution

So they are Eulogizing someone who killed the paramount traditional ruler of another tribe without any valid reason? A problem of the Saudana account revealed he had only £60 in his bank account at the time of his death. Is that how to lead a revolution?

As you know, those that live by the sword, die by the sword.

Location of Heaven:
Look up into the sky with your eyes, telescope, Hubbe Space Telescope, James Webb Telescope or any more powerful lenses, what do you see?

If eventually, man is able to see the end of the universe, that very end is our side of the fence between our dimension and Heaven. Take a moment to sink that in.

Why is God is always running from human knowledge.

In prehistoric times God or rather the Gods was residing high in the mountains
After mountain climbers were able to conquer the mountains, God ran above the clouds. When man started building planes and balloons that went beyond the clouds, God ran away to outer space. When man built rockets and conquered outer space, God ran away to the edge of the universe. Man now built Hubble space telescope and James Webb Telescope to look at the edge of the universe. God has now ran beyond the edge of the universe.

What happens if man is somehow able to look beyond the edge of the universe? Will he finally find God there or God will run away again to beyond all universes?
